[McTaylor]

China's vehicle classification standards divide SUVs into: subcompact SUV, compact SUV, midsize SUV, full-size SUV, large SUV, and MPV. Below is more detailed information: Compact SUV: Compact SUVs typically have a wheelbase between 2500mm-2700mm and a body length between 4200mm-4600mm. They represent the dominant force in the SUV market, offering significant improvements in space and off-road capability compared to subcompact SUVs. For those seeking a balance between SUV performance, sedan comfort, and fuel efficiency, compact SUVs are undoubtedly the optimal choice that satisfies all three aspects. With stylish exteriors, comfortable interiors, and comprehensive features, they fully meet urban commuting needs as well as holiday off-road adventures. Representative models include: Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tiguan, etc. Midsize SUV: Midsize SUVs generally feature a wheelbase between 2700mm-2900mm and a body length between 4600mm-4800mm. Their designs exude stability and sophistication while maintaining refined details. Midsize SUVs combine numerous advantages, with their spacious interiors meeting various needs—some models even offer 7-seat configurations. Representative models include: BMW X3, GAC Trumpchi GS8, etc. Full-size SUV: Full-size SUVs usually have a wheelbase between 2800mm-3000mm and a body length between 4800mm-5000mm. Compared to midsize SUVs, they provide not only more interior space but also more luxurious features, stronger power outputs, superior off-road performance, and enhanced safety. Representative models include: Toyota Prado, Land Rover Range Rover, Zotye T700, etc. Large SUV: Typical large SUVs are characterized by the American SUV style—high-displacement engines, massive dimensions, and expansive interiors. Evolving from station wagons, they combine sedan-like comfort, the generous passenger space of wagons, and the utility of vans.
